Frugal Friday – Aveeno Calming Makeup Wipes

I have a confession to make–I use makeup wipes more often than I should. There I said it. I get lazy and don’t want to spend the time I should on my entire skincare routine. I know, I know –bad, bad beauty blogger! The problem with most makeup wipes is that most of them are drying and don’t do a good job on eye makeup. If I have to use a separate eye makeup remover, then it defeats the convienience of the wipes. If fact, until I tried Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes, I’d never used a makeup wipe that didn’t dry my skin out. This is why they are so great:

Honestly, these are the best wipes I’ve used and I have tried a lot! For a long time I used Say Yes to Blueberries–they were great for brightening my skin but terrible for removing eye makeup and they were drying. The Aveeno Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes actually feel good, even after a few hours of using them! They are especially nice for us over 40 women because they are so gentle to the skin but still get the job done!

The packaging is great and at $6.99 I will be putting one in my gym bag, one in my desk drawer at work and one in my nightstand.

Aveeno make-up wipes are the only wipes I like. Most of these wipes don’t do a good job with eye-makeup (like you already pointed out) and leave my skin feeling sticky. I prefer the old fashioned milk/tonic combo, but when flying these are the make-up wipes I take with me in my carry-on bag.
